How far have we gone since then?
This night, I saw the Minister of Solid Minerals on ChannelsTV Hard Copy an interview program. He discussed many issues, briefly mentioning the Ajaokuta Steel Company (or was it only the rolling mills?) takeover by yet another Indian company, Premium Steels.
The minister was appreciably more fluent and avoided the typical hyperbole enamoured of government functionaries. I am still not impressed. Learning in the job is not the way to take the great leap forward in mining and derivatives.
I am so glad to have heard the Minister mention dimension stones. I believe he meant marble, granite, etc to the layman. I am however disappointed that he did not mention Pam Fedap, Igbetti, Julius Berger and others BY NAME. These are the pioneers in the upstream operations of this sub sector. They deserve celebration and support for their role.
What exactly is going on?
ASCO has incredibly been 97% complete for 30years now. And still counting.
